Module 16 Piston Engine: Cat A Exam eBook

Module 16 · Cat A · 15 syllabus subjects

Executive overview

Module 16, Piston engine, asks candidates to master reciprocating engine theory and construction: cycles, mixture and fuel metering, ignition, lubrication, cooling, induction and exhaust. It is pitched at Category A depth, where recognition and understanding of line-maintenance tasks come first, so every chapter of this secure ebook is selected for Cat A candidates and nothing is padded with content outside your category.

The edition maps to 15 syllabus subjects of Regulation (EU) 2023/989, Part-66 Appendix I: 15 at Level 1. That split tells you where to spend your hours, since Level 3 subjects are examined in the greatest depth.

Study it alongside the Quiz Engine: each syllabus reference in this manual is a Quiz Competency, so you can practise one subject at a time, then run a timed simulation of the Module 16 examination. Your Online Senior Instructor uses the same references to send you back to the right chapter.

How it helps you pass the exam

  • After the manual you can explain the four-stroke cycle and valve timing, diagnose mixture and ignition problems from symptoms and describe lubrication, cooling and supercharging.
  • It confronts the classic stumbling block head on: timing and mixture calculations.
  • Expect component-function questions and short numerical items; the chapter order follows the syllabus so you can tick subjects off as you go.

Competencies targeted (EASA Part-66 syllabus)

15 syllabus subjects, each shown with the knowledge level examined for the licence scope of this product. Level 1 is familiarisation, Level 2 is general knowledge and Level 3 is detailed knowledge.
